"You may shoot me with your words

You may cut me with your eyes

You may kill me with your hatefulness

But still, like air, I'll arise"

COLORFUL FABRICS

THIS IS WHO YOU ARE:
WITNESS AGE-OLD CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS OF YOUR ANCESTORS AND
SAVOR DELICIOUS AND HEALTHY FOODS

Immerse yourself in the rich culture of your ancestors through music, dance, food and colorful clothing. Listen to songs and dances that interpret birth and death, love and tragedy, soulful and joyous, and all events in life that interpret the human condition.  Listen to dirges and proverbs, to reverberating drums and hand-claps, and witness bodies bowing, turning and shaping themselves to the rhythmic vibration of your communities. Savor foods, test your palate, tickle your imagination, attend colorful festivals, and visit our open-air markets to see everything from natural foods, traditional tools and artifacts to colorful clothing.
